Admiral Yi Soon Shin is genius to invent such magnificient battle ship! This is like a cross bred of modern day submarine and the battle war ship combined. Koreans are very smart and very creative.
I think the Koreans were one of the first navies to use firepower as naval tactic. When we defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588 in the battle of Gravelines, we used relied heavily on gunnery skills(accuracy+rate of fire) to smash the Spanish. The Spanish navy relied on boarding, and they couldn't close in against the smaller and more maneuverable English ships.
Do not cry... do not notify my men of my passing. Beat the drums, blow the trumpets, wave the flag for advance. We are still in the fight; finish the enemy to the last one.
Admiral yi didn't take out the the entire fleet he destroyed around 35 ships and damaged many more the rest retreated still one of the greatest military leaders in history
@yuqichn heres a little history lesson.. chinese were the oldest of the orientals then korea and then japan. even though chinese and korean writings are similar the meanings were different. and if you think im wrong, you can just google it or look at any history books/texts that has to do with all 3 of these countries.
No, Japanese really didn't have enough technology to install canons on their ship for PRACTICAL use. Japanese DID have canons on their ship, but their ship was not built in a way to handle the recoil of a canon. So instead, they hanged canons in the air with ropes. You can imagine what would happen to a canon if you fire it while it is hanging in the air.
oh you should check up the turtleship's body first before you think like that. :) Turtleship was built on this Panokseon ship. Joseon artisans added roof and dragon's head on Panokseon ship.
@CuriosityRoads The defeat of Japanese invaders was the combination of military intervention by Ming China and the naval victories of Yi Shoon Shin. Joseon Korean army was no match for Japanese soldiers as they were veterans of civil wars in Japan and were battle hardened soldiers. Yi Shoon Shin realized that naval battles was the best way as controlling the sea route would prevent supplies and reinforcements from Japan from reaching Korea.
Seriously, Chinese record from Yang Dynasty states that Japanese men only wore leather clothes piece around them, and Japanese women wore leather robe made by simply making one big hole in the middle of a leather sheet. In those days, Chinese and Koreans were boasting East Asia's best fashion trend ok?
Uhh no he is correct, they should thank Korea. Yi Soon Shin was born in Korea. He served for his beloved country with his soldiers. Fought for Korea. Do i have to go on? you get the idea. So therefore they should be thanking Korea.
If you? compare Yi Sun-sin to the invasion of England by the Spanish Armada, Yi Sun-sin would still have been harassing supply convoys at Plymouth in the south of England while the Spaniards had already landed and wreaked havoc all the way north to Scotland.
What you are saying is true until Japanese navy was demolished in 'Battle of Hansan Island'. After that war, Japanese couldn't dare to wage a war in Sea any more.
Did you know that ever since Ming Dynasty, any nation "paying tribute" to Ming would RECEIVE far more GIFTS? and you think Japan never paid tribute? You just call this YiSunShun a fake story, because you don't like it. If its false, why would Wakizaka be so descriptive in his failures against Yi? Why would Dogo's sailors on 1905 May 27th, make shrines to Yi and prayed for victory? Why would Dogo say "to compare me to Yi, the god of Naval War, is to blaspheme" after that battle?
oh wow how useful that would be in modern warfare, when a noob with a pistol can pwn a 30yr-grandmaster of whatever ancient martial arts you can throw at anyone.
@sukneh Well a '300' style comic about Yi Soon Shin just came out by the Westerners! I was quite impressed, because it wasn't some kind of fanboy comic; it was entertaining, and actually accurate.
Did you also know that it's in kinda poor taste still in the 21st Century to say "You people should respect us because we tried invade and assimilate your culture into ours". That'd be like every country (excluding Scandinavia/Ireland) in Western Europe thanking Italy for the Roman Empire that cause gigantic massacres/even a genocide, that would halt the expansion of Greek philosophies/ideas until the Renaissance
Quick recap, you didn't read my second comment obviously, I'm not Korean, just someone who doesn't care for picking on other countries without any reason but that they're not like mine. Just because you have better food than another nation doesn't make yours better or give any reason other than normal bragging rights to be rude to people. And if not recording history makes someone less civilized please read Terry Jones' "Barbarians", huge explanation into that subject.
lol, Japan got gunpowder earlier than many other countries. If they didn't have cannons on their ships, it wasn't because they didn't have the technology. Their fault for not equipping their ships properly.
Also, also, that Korea didn't have its own culture or "absorbed" Japanese is kinda silly, everyone trying to invade the shit out of Korea, wouldn't leave you a lot of time to create a culture as diverse as its neighbors. On a side note i'm Canadian (10 generations Canadian/2nd generation Canadian originating from Germany) I literally have one of the least stand out backgrounds, still doesn't mean everyone else is inferior because Canadians made the chocolate bar. :D
I just wanted to point out that Korea still had some stuff that wasn't directly from Japan (also look at the Paekche nobles who fled Korea around 660 A.D, they might have brought some things to Japan O.o). It's rude to say that everything you had was inferior to us, true some things Japan had were better, not gonna lie sushi is pretty awesome. But as for rice, first cultivated in China 12,000 BC, kinda doubt proximity would have limited China from exporting it to Korea.
What NoNoSpice is saying is like saying that Siberian Nomads taught Mesopotamians how to cultivate rice. Plus NoNoSpice, the oldest cultivated rice grain that is 15000 years old is in Korea Ok?
By the way, it's his birthday today. I don't think what you say revolutionary wasn't really "revolutionary" at all. But, I heard Yi used an effective naval formation that resembles the shape of "H", against the Japanese navy and was very successful. The Japanese admiral led the Imperial Japanese navy against the Russian navy adopted the tactic and he was so impressed by it's effectiveness that he called Yi the "god of war"
Where did you learn history?? If what you are saying is true, why Japan couldn't conquer Korea completely?? Japanese army spent 7 years in Korea - The reason being that Japanese had problem of supply line because sea channel was shut down by Yi.
What supplies could not be acquired by japanese army in korea? Why did japanese army need reinforcement after they had conquered korea with korean king in china?
haha of course he shouldn't be in Japanese textbook. Go to wikipedia and find out about Yi. Korea didn't open up path for Japan to go to China. That's what I know also. And it's one of reasons that Myung dynasty helped Chosun eventually.
Mongolia ruled the vast region throughout the whole world history. You logic is so silly. Japan was just lucky because of typhoon Mongo couldn't land Japan. Consider the Vietnam war - who won the battle? U.S or vietnam? I have a question for you. Does Japanese admire 德川家康? I read his biography, wow he's a very bad man,, letting his son suicide... And eventually fooled Hideyoshi's son.. I live in NYC but unfortunately I don't have Japanese friends I couldn't ask.
First thing first: I'm Korean. 1. Togo never said that Yi is better than him. Stop spreading that BS 2. Yi lost 2 vassals retreating(or withdrawing) Well that's the only loss he suffered in his life 3. Korea had superior ships and firepower. 4. Yi almost always outnumbered his enemies except 3 battles, Hansandoo, Noryang, Myoengryang, in which he used clever tactics to overcome the inferior number. Once again though: NOOOOOO TOGO BULLSHIT PLEASSSSEE!
Korea was truly declining by the time of Chosun, but before that, not even China could conquer it, despite its numerous tries. Hey, even the mongols, subduing all the other nations, had to let Korea go, mainly because the mongols suck at naval combat as much as they are gods of land warfare. And I suppose you were never told where Japanese people came from. No doubt from Korea, as part of the Baekje colonies. Your royal family was without doubt from Korea.
I am reading your comment again. I am scratching my head. Where did you learn this? Who told you this? When I was in college, for one year I had a Japanese room-mate, who told me about the problems of Japanese education. "Selective truth", he called it. He thought it was very embarrassing the way Japanese government officials "select" what is taught to Japanese youth. He was shocked when he came to the United States to see how American college students criticize American government.
Because Japan has no history to be proud of. As I said before, 德川家康 is one of worst big figures I've ever heard of. And Japanese war heros they shouldn't be respected. What did they do? Kiiling people to gain more territory. The betrayal at Battle of Sekigahara is so disgusting. On the other hand, Yi fought to protect his own country, people sacrificing himself.
Not even the GENERAL? AHAHAHAH plz, then why would we have records of him being appointed to general? Why would Japanese general Wakizaka write so much about him? Why would Dogo respect him so much?
Tnx for being FAIR. im not saying our people are the GREATEST IN THE WORLD. but Just like any other country our history is important. and I just want fair justice... We did have great nations like Goguryeo and i do believe yes baekjae and shinla did help Japan advance but that doesnt mean I am saying that we are the greatest and japan is dirt.
Unfortunately, you are incorrect. His diaries were immediately published after his death. He was given a prestigious posthumous title and celebrated as a national hero since his death. The Koreans published his works into English before Japan had any political influence on Korea (see "Nanjung Ilgi"). Also, his direct descendants became prominent military and yangban officials, keeping his story in Korean hearts. When Japanese colonized, they worked hard to erase all of this.
Speaking of education, I was at the National Museum in Washington and they had an amazing exhibit about the naval feats of Yi Sun-shin. Amazing stuff. At the end, some Japanese tourist muttered something about "propaganda" to the curator. Propaganda! Among a rather large crowd of tourists. The curator totally schooled this Japanese tourist and his cohort. Spoiled the atmosphere among the crowd. I have to admit -- first time I ever saw Japanese upset, and kind of rude. Anyway, education.
Yes, but, not exactly correct. According to Korean sources, Yi Sun-shin greatly improved upon the turtle-ship, but he did not invent it. It was originally designed in the second decade of the 1400s, long before him.

정말 좋은 영상입니다.
It is a great movie for Admiral Yi Sun-sin .
Nice jobs.
Admiral Yi Soon Shin is genius to invent such magnificient battle ship! This is like a cross bred of modern day submarine and the battle war ship combined. Koreans are very smart and very creative.
Very well made video! and admiral Yi Sun Shin was fantastic! Thank you
I think the Koreans were one of the first navies to use firepower as naval tactic.

I must say Admiral Yi Sun-sin is got to be one of the greatest Admiral's of the world
Very nice job. I spent most of my life never having heard his name -- now regard him as one of the greatest men who ever lived. Honor to him.
Admiral Yi Sun-Sin would be shaking his head if he saw that his beloved country has split into two.
Azhraeya during Joseon period Korea was divided into 3 - so I dont think he would have been that surprised!
Do not cry... do not notify my men of my passing. Beat the drums, blow the trumpets, wave the flag for advance. We are still in the fight; finish the enemy to the last one.
I am sure yi sun shin is one of the greatest adomirals in the world!
Well researched and well presented summary of key reasons the Admiral was named Chung My Gong (Master of Loyal Battle) after his death.
@yuqichn did you know that in japanese textbooks they don't show the battle of Myeongryang
Admiral yi didn't take out the the entire fleet he destroyed around 35 ships and damaged many more the rest retreated still one of the greatest military leaders in history
동양 대해서 관심이 많으신 분들은 아실겁니다. 러시아와 일본의 전쟁 당시, 일본의 장수 도오고 헤이아치가 승리로 이끌었던 전술이 이순신 장군님의 학익진을 따온 사실을요.
Lee was probably the best naval commander in our history.
thanks
@yuqichn heres a little history lesson..
chinese were the oldest of the orientals then korea and then japan.
even though chinese and korean writings are similar the meanings were different.
and if you think im wrong, you can just google it or look at any history books/texts that has to do with all 3 of these countries.
Hi~I'm Korean~Nice to see you^^*
I've seen one floating in the water in Kyeongju, South Korea. It's real. I've seen a couple replicas in museums too.
No, Japanese really didn't have enough technology to install canons on their ship for PRACTICAL use. Japanese DID have canons on their ship, but their ship was not built in a way to handle the recoil of a canon. So instead, they hanged canons in the air with ropes. You can imagine what would happen to a canon if you fire it while it is hanging in the air.
oh you should check up the turtleship's body first before you think like that. :) Turtleship was built on this Panokseon ship. Joseon artisans added roof and dragon's head on Panokseon ship.
Korea would've been Japan if it hadn't been for Yi Sun-sin. By far he is one of the best hero of all time in Korea.
요약 Korea13: japan330 = korea win^^
뭐?싫어? 하지만진실이야^^ 너희에겐 쪽팔린과거 우리에겐 자랑스러운 역사
yi is best general in history of korea
Is the Turtle Ship photo actually real?
@CuriosityRoads The defeat of Japanese invaders was the combination of military intervention by Ming China and the naval victories of Yi Shoon Shin.

Seriously, Chinese record from Yang Dynasty states that Japanese men only wore leather clothes piece around them, and Japanese women wore leather robe made by simply making one big hole in the middle of a leather sheet. In those days, Chinese and Koreans were boasting East Asia's best fashion trend ok?
wat about the battle of myungrang!?
did he say "fleet" or "flip"
Dude, ok so i guess all the kids with the last name Yi are related to yi sun shin right?
Uhh no he is correct, they should thank Korea. Yi Soon Shin was born in Korea. He served for his beloved country with his soldiers. Fought for Korea. Do i have to go on? you get the idea. So therefore they should be thanking Korea.

What you are saying is true until Japanese navy was demolished in 'Battle of Hansan Island'. After that war, Japanese couldn't dare to wage a war in Sea any more.
It's because Chosun dynasty didn't want hero like Yi. Chosun King SunJo suspected Yi might coup utilizing his soldiers and popularity.
Did you know that ever since Ming Dynasty, any nation "paying tribute" to Ming would RECEIVE far more GIFTS? and you think Japan never paid tribute?
You just call this YiSunShun a fake story, because you don't like it. If its false, why would Wakizaka be so descriptive in his failures against Yi?

Wow he was the naval hannibal of korea

You're a fucking warrior armed with a keyboard.

NoNoSpice is 55 yrs old Otaku, he normally trolls at various websites under Castilemaid55, Chinilpa, Wonda51 etc.. just report him
@kiman9414 Yi is greatly admired in Japan.
Or at least by scholars and admirals.

ming recapture pyongyang in ,1593. li rusong forces the japanese first division under konishi yukinaga back across the taedong river
all messages were towards no no spice
No..they should thank Yi Soon Shin
Tnx for being FAIR.

If you need a hug, I am willing to give it.
So, I feel truly sorry that you have been fed some selective truth. What you wrote makes *no* sense, and I wonder whether you even recognize that.
Wow he was the naval hannibal of korea
